Tobacco Crumbs.

Never has the future of Henderson as a
tobacco market been so bright as at pres
ent. We have large force of resident
buyers, all of whom have "held their own, .
while many have made money. They are
their business, occupy large and commo-
dious buildings, specially builtand adapted
for the storing and handling of tobacco.
The Board of Trade is composed of men
of intelligence, character and good bust
ness qualifications. and the tendency of the
market is upward and onward.

DEATH OF AN AGED AN EsTIMABLE
LADY.-Mrs. Isabella Norwood Homer,
wife of Rev. T. J. Homer, died at her
home in this place Wednesday, June 22nd,
after a short illness. Deceased was most
amiable and estimable lady, loved and es-
teemed by all who knew her. Well en-
dowed Intellectually, kind hearted, gentle
and sympathetic, she was indeed fit con-
sort for the cultured, heightened Christian
gentleman whose faithful companion and
help-meet she was for forty years. The
name Of this good woman will be cher
ished with feelings of grateful remem-
brance by many young man who found a
home beneath her roof while attending her
husbands school in this place. And to hey
motherly care and thoughtful attention we
doubt not their thoughts will often revert
and their hearts be touched with deepest
grief at the announcement Of her death. A
devoted and affectionate husband and two
loving and Obedient children, Mr.. W. d.
Horner and Mrs. Il. L. Hicks, together
with wide circle of relations and friends
survive her. In another column will be

AN ARTIST, TRULY.-The GOLD LEAF
had occasion not long ago to speak of some
work done by Miss Lizzie Cheatham, the
very talented and accomplished young
daughter of our highly esteemed towns
man Dr. W. T. Cheatham, in the line of
crayon drawing. 1t was a life size portrait
of her father, which was pronounced by
competent judges true to life and of we'll
nigh faultleSs execution. Since then we
have seen another creation of Miss Lizzie S
skilful hand which if anything surpasses
the first, because the subject is better, (and
in saying this we mean no reflection upon
the good looks of our esteemed friend the
Doctor.) allowing greater scope for deli
cacy of execution and display of effect. 1t
is portrait of little Becky" the infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Watkins,
and must be seen to be appreciated. The
graceful pose and sweet and innocent ex-
preston of the child's face make it most
interesting picture, and Miss Lizzie has
done her work in a highly creditable and
artistic manner indeed. 1t was drawn
from photo by Newell, and is mounted
in an elegant frame by Ii. 4. Draper.

BISHOP LYMAN-It will be gratifying
Intelligence to his friends throughout the
State to learn that Bishop Lyman, who
some time ago was compelled to cancel his
appointments and seek rest on account of
feeble health, has so far recovered that he
expects soon TO be home again. The Char
lotte Chronicle is authorized to make
number of appointments for him and says:
He attended the meeting of the Board of
Missions in New York on the Sth inst, and
was also present in Philadelphia at the
funeral of Bishop Stevens BY the advice
of his physician he then sought the seaside,
and is al present staying at the Shelburne
House, Atlantic City. \. J. The first of

where he hopes TO hold an ordination in
Christ Church on the fourth Sunday after

ing he proposes to hold another ordination
in st. Matthew's Church, Hillsboro, and
from that point to proceed Oh his visitations
TO other parts Of the diocese as his strength
may allow.

DEATH OF DR.. S. ID. YoUNG.-Dr. Samuel
D. Young, brother of DR.. ". w. Young,
of Henderson. died at his residence in this
place last Friday morning. Deceased was
we'll known throughout this section and
was held in high esteem by all classes of
our citizens. At one time he was promi-
nent and well-to-do physician, but for
number of years had not been actively en-
gagged in the practice of his profession, on
account Of i'll health. He had been a
great sufferer from rheumatism, confined
to his home for most part for several
months. Dr.. Young was in the 53rd year
of his age, having been born in Granville
county in April, 1885. During the late war
he was assistant surgeon in Col. w. j.
Green's brigade, of which Dir. 2. T. Peace
was senior surgeon. In this position he dis
charged lis duties with signal faithfulness
and ability, and many an old soldier to
whom he has miniStered in time of pain and
distress will sorrow to know that DR.. Sam
Young is no more. His wife, a most excel
lent woman, died about five years ago. He
leaves two children, daughter and son,
to whom the warmest sympathy of large
circle of friends is extended in their sore
aff1ictiOn. The remains were inferred ir

For bright tobacco, fine wrappers, enters
and smokers, Henderson leads any market
in the State, both as to quantity and quality.
We are long ways ahead for light col
ored goods, and no better point could be
desired for cigarette and smoking tobacco
factories.

Henderson is not blowing her horn much,
but she is going right on assuming the pro-
portions of a young city-growing in size
and developing her resources. Besides nu-
merOuS dwellings going up in various
parts of town, Coopcr's large warehouse,
Clary Bros and Strause &, Raab's tobacco
prize houses are in course of erection,
work will soon be commenced on Allen &
enters stemming and re-ordering estab-
lishment, and an extensive addition will be
made to Harris, Gooch & Cos brick ware
house. This alone in the interest of tobacco.
Orr tobacco market has more healthy
toHe than for many months past, and there
il greater hope and animation among deal
fers, as natural consequence. In view of
the fact that the growing crop promises to
be light one the outlook is more encOur-
aging for the stock on hand and dealers
are cheerful and hopeful. People who
I bought tobacco last winter can now real
ize handsome profit, and the improve
ment in prices will put much money in the
pockets of our judicious buyers. Now for
a crop of good tobacco in the fall and the
farmers will come in for big slice of the
pie And with the small amount planted,
coupled with the destructive ravages of the
cutworms and grasshoppers, thereby re-
ducing the crop still more, farmers will
/ be able to give better attention to the cul-
| tivation and curing of their tobacco this
year, and as a result ws may look for a
| higher standard in the average of the quail
| ity of the leaf produced.

The sales of tobacco have not been as
heavy as usual since last Friday. and the
transactions at the several warehouses are,
in consequence, comparatively light. This
is accounted for by the fact that farmers
have been busy with their other crops,
harvesting wheat and 'laying by" corn.
The tobaccos that are offered are realizing
fine prices, the lower grades jumping along
and far outleaping the prices obtained a
few months past.
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1887-06-30

The tone of the tobacco market is much
stronger than it was a short time back.
The. tendency of prices on all grades is
frmer and upward. This is particularly
true of the common grades which have
been selling low during the spring, while
fine wrappers and all colory stock, for
which good figures have ruled all along,
are more in demand at higher prices.
